SabbyNeko Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've been using Mod Manager for Skyrim a while now, and with how finnicky that game is, I pretty much had to learn a few things about how mods work. I use BOSS now, I only ever install one mod at a time, and I play test each one before adding another, so I can find which is causing a problem. I just got New Vegas, and like an idiot, I threw every mod I wanted on at once, thinking BOSS would fix it. I was going to do the proper method, but there's just so many compatibility patches... it was spinning my head. So I just downloaded every file that the mod pages recommended. WME, WMX, EVE, Project Nervada, all seemed to have a dozen or more compatibility files roping them all together. I had no idea what the hell I was doing. This is new to me. And I've apparently installed the wrong ones, or not enough, as the game crashes on start up. So, I've uninstalled every mod and the game is back to vanilla. I'd like a list of what I need before I continue, or some kind of guide as to how to go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivea Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Firstly you should read the mods readmes, you need to make sure the mods your useing can actually be used together. WME and WMX are not and can never be compatible you need to pick one. Now a compatibility patches are needed when a mod lets say WMX edits a Weapon, now you want to use Project Nevada which edits that same exact weapon. Oh no, you now have a conflict! Thats when you get the the patch for WMX provided by Project Nevada: Project Nevada - WMX Support 1_3 http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/42363 Make sure you are actually useing the mod your getting patches for, most people complain about problems with crashing because they downloaded allllll the patches on a page only to find they are not even useing 90% of those mods.

SabbyNeko Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hmmm... well, Project Nevada seems to be the Skyrim Redone of New Vegas, so I guess I could install that, WMX, and Eve, and get the patches to make WMX and EVE PN compatible? Or will WMX and EVE need to link up as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivea Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 WMX has a patch for EVE on its download section: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/39651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
